No, Tangled is a modern adaptation of the classic Rapunzel story. It takes some creative liberties and adds new elements to make it more appealing to a contemporary audience.
For a Tangled Rapunzel fanfic without the pregnancy aspect, you could write about Rapunzel exploring the world of science in her kingdom. She could be interested in botany and start a garden with all kinds of magical and non - magical plants. This could lead to her discovering new medicinal plants or ones that have other useful properties. Another concept is Rapunzel hosting a big festival in the kingdom to celebrate the unity of all the different people. She could plan all the events and decorations herself, using her artistic skills. Or, a story about Rapunzel learning how to be a diplomat, traveling to other kingdoms to make alliances and learning about different cultures along the way.
One idea could be that the OC is a traveling artist who stumbles upon Rapunzel's tower. Rapunzel is intrigued by the OC's art and they start to create art together, using the long hair as an unconventional paintbrush. This could lead to a friendship where they both learn about the outside world through each other's eyes.
One plot idea could be that Eugene has to go on a dangerous quest alone to find a magical herb to cure Rapunzel when she falls ill with a strange disease that normal medicine can't heal. Another could be a story where Rapunzel and Eugene accidentally swap bodies due to a magical mishap and they have to figure out how to reverse it while also dealing with the daily tasks in each other's bodies.
Well, in the original Tangled Rapunzel story, Rapunzel is a beautiful girl trapped in a tall tower. The witch, who has some sort of power over her, keeps her there. Rapunzel's long hair is not only her defining feature but also the means by which she interacts with the outside world. When the prince comes along, he is drawn to her voice. Their encounter is a significant part of the story, and the events that follow, like the witch's jealousy and the prince's misfortune, all contribute to the classic fairytale plot. It's a story full of magic, love, and the struggle against an evil force.
For a fanfiction plot, consider Rapunzel trying to teach other people in the kingdom how to use their own 'inner magic'. She could start a school or something similar. Along the way, she has to overcome the doubts of the more traditional members of the court. Another idea is that she gets transported to a different land where no one has ever seen magic like hers before. There, she has to prove herself and her good intentions while also finding a way back home.
Perhaps there's a plot where an old enemy from Varian's past returns. This enemy is after Varian's knowledge of alchemy. Rapunzel steps in to protect Varian. They go on the run and during this time, they share stories of their pasts. Varian tells Rapunzel about his father and how his love for alchemy started. Rapunzel tells Varian about her time in the tower. This makes their bond stronger as they face the threat together.
Rapunzel's character development in such fanfiction can be quite multi - faceted. Firstly, physically, she has to adjust to the changes in her body, which might make her more in tune with her physical self. Emotionally, she could become more empathetic towards other mothers in the kingdom. She may also become more assertive in ensuring the safety and well - being of her unborn child. For instance, she could start taking a more active role in castle security matters related to the baby. Additionally, her relationship with Eugene will likely deepen as they face this new chapter together, and this could also shape her character further.
